Master in Department of Electrical Engineering

Electrical engineering is the study of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism, and their application to systems such as power generation and distribution, electronic devices, communications, and control systems. The discipline covers subjects including circuit theory, electromagnetics, signal processing, power systems, control theory, and semiconductor devices, requiring a strong grounding in mathematics and physics along with practical laboratory work. Electrical engineers work on problems ranging from the design of electronic components to the operation of large-scale power grids and communication networks. A master's program in electrical engineering typically builds on undergraduate training in the field, allowing students to specialize in an area such as power systems, control systems, communications, or semiconductor and electronic devices, usually through advanced coursework combined with a thesis or research project. This stage of study develops more specialized technical expertise and research capability than an undergraduate degree, preparing graduates for advanced engineering roles in industry, research and development positions, or continued study at the doctoral level. This master's program is offered by the Department of Electrical Engineering at National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology, located in southern Taiwan. Instruction is delivered in English, giving international students the option to pursue graduate study in electrical engineering in Taiwan without needing Chinese-language proficiency. Taiwan's electronics and technology manufacturing base provides a relevant setting for graduate study in this field, connecting academic training with a broader industrial context in electrical and electronic systems.
